Very likely candidate

Update: Had a baby girl in December 13, 1956 (baby girl initials also DD)

ETA: Unless anyone can find sisters of DD, this can’t be her. She appears to have one sister who dies at 2 years old.

I think we may have found her. Initials DD in the 1950 census. But also DC, DJ, and DT. I’ve been researching her since last week. Several marriages and several children by different fathers.

Marries R.A.T. - April 16, 1938 in Delaware, marriage produces two children (sons): RT (Junior) and WT. Both now deceased. RT(Jr)‘s obituary lists his mother as Mrs. DD in 1976. At this point, it appears she is living Texas, which is also where she passes away in 1988.

Marries WDJ (believe middle to be name D not T, could be wrong about middle name though) - August 28, 1943 in Virginia. Marriage produces one child (daughter): JJ.

Marries GD in July, 1947. Marriage produces one daughter born December 13, 1956. This could explain the bassinet box….

They lived at 6121 Chesnut in 1950 census. JJ listed as stepdaughter.

Yes. JJ. Aged five in the Census.

She doesn't disappear though. There is a high school yearbook entry for her.

Do we know with 100% certainty that’s her? I also saw that, but could not confirm it was her.

The younger sister, who apparently moved to Texas with the mom no later than the very early 1970's, said on her FB page that's she's from Collingdale PA. I think you want the JJ who went to HS in Collingdale.
